Why it's worth checking out
Hedgeley Dene Gardens sits on Tollington Avenue at Malvern East, a leafy, established suburb in Melbourne's inner south-east. A lovely, much-loved garden park, it's a tranquil local gem — combining beautifully landscaped gardens, a pretty ornamental lake and stream, mature trees and walking paths in a serene, picturesque setting.
The appeal is that combination of beautiful, peaceful gardens and lovely water features: room to stroll, relax and take in the landscaped beauty, with the ornamental lake and stream, the birdlife and the tranquil surrounds making it a serene escape. It's a genuinely picturesque spot, popular for a peaceful walk, a relaxing pause or simply enjoying the gardens.
With a 4.7 rating from more than 400 reviews, it's a much-loved spot. The gardens are free and open year-round, but facilities and any seasonal displays vary, so it's worth checking the surrounds before a special trip — though for a peaceful stroll, a relax by the water or some quiet time among the gardens, you can generally just turn up and enjoy the lovely Hedgeley Dene Gardens at Malvern East.
